Update 5: 04/04/2022 - all boards have shipped
from the manufacturer and have started to arrive with
vendors to be QC’d/packed/shipped. If you ordered
a polypropylene plate then please keep an eye out from an
email from your vendor with steps to resolve for you. Thanks
for your continued patience.
Update 4:
29/03/2022 - boards have arrived with at least one
vendor. the majority should start packing/QC this
week
Update 3: 26/01/2022 - Currently trying
to get firm dates, have initially been told that everything
will ship before CNY but no follow up on that and no
notification from vendors. All boards are finished and
packing has definitely started so hopefully everything will
take place soon. In some good news: The hotswap PCB has now
been added to some of the stores, you should have had an
email from your regional vendor. If your vendor isn’t
selling it then please purchase from keebcats @
https://kbcats.co/udkHS2jo
Update 2: 4/11/2021 - Due to the rolling
blackouts in China the factories responsible for machining
and finishing have for a while only been able to work
shorter work weeks, sometimes 2-4 days a week. This has
pushed the delivery expectation, The latest dates I have
from my factory rep are that it will ship to vendors by the
end of the year, I’m hesitant to suggest this is a definite
date but I will try to keep on top of this and come back
with any further information as I get it. I appreciate your
patience.
Update 1: 17th March - iLumKB had some issues
closing out another board and had to delay opening this buy
until today. All vendor pages are live and linked in the
table below

Here is the official GB thread for Angel, a pin-mount
seamless 65% keyboard kit.
The IC thread is available here with more details
For more information about the mount style you can
read the prophet threads available here:

The kit will be priced at $375 USD excluding
sales/import tax and shipping. A kit includes: 1 x top,
1 x bottom, 1 x plate, and 1 PCB. The angle of the case is
6°. It includes a custom PCB designed by me that supports
ISO/ANSI layouts and runs QMK, this will be matte
black.
Options:
Top is available in WK or WKL -
both have 0.5u arrow blocker
Case is available in
Aluminium in 3 colours: E-Black, E-White & Anodised
Silver
Plate is available in ISO/ANSI half or full
layout in 2 materials: PP (Polypropylene, Black), POM
(Polyoxymethylene, White). If the ISO numbers stay low we
might have to restrict the material to ensure we hit a
suitable price.
Here is a list of the retailers with
their respective prices and regions. I will update this with
links to the product page as soon as I have them.
The
group buy will launch on the 8th March with all vendors

FAQ
Won’t the plate fall out?
The
plate does sit loose in the assembly and if you pick it up
and shake it then it will rattle but there’s not enough room
for it to fall off, in typing this doesn’t happen.
What is pin mount? Have there been any other boards that
use this mounting style?
there is no pressure from the top half of the case on
the plate. There are 4 pins in the corners of the base that
hold the plate in place and it rests on the lip of the base.
The theory is that the lack of downward pressure allows the
plate more freedom of movement towards the center whilst
still retaining an even pressure around the edge of the
board. Prophet was the first public buy that used it
Which plate material is the best?
Polypropylene benefits the most from this mount
style
How much does the keyboard weigh?
The weight of the keyboard built is around 1.1kg
(2.5lbs)
KLE?
